Learn to Sketch Loosely // Paint First, Draw on Top

This is a demo I released on Patreon last year. I show how you can sketch loosely by painting shapes of colour first and then drawing on top of them.

Ordered n can't wait

[@bishsec]

I’m in Taria’s Sketch Your Adventures course now, and I highly recommend it. I’m a complete newbie - drawing and urban sketching - and I’m really enjoying it. Great course. I’m sure more experienced sketchers could also get a lot out of it.

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Thank you so much Ed, that's so kind of you and I am SO happy you are enjoying the course and getting lots out of it :)

[@S.D.S08]

I always love the way you do foliage. It's the hardest part of any sketch I *attempt* to do. One difference, I think, is my climate. I'm in the US southwest (Tucson AZ) where foliage is.. more pointy? Sharper? Less full? More angles? Hard to explain and it depends on the view or the setting. Think Mesquite trees, palo verde trees, oleander, palms, desert brush... I'd love to see what you would do with a photo of my backyard (with an old mid-century modern structure in it). Also, very much looking forward to your book! Congratulations!

[@lisamessina5952]

I am in Tucson as well. I find the hard edges of the desert difficult when my preference is a loose watercolor style. I keep at it!

[@S.D.S08]

@Lisa Messina well hello, fellow Tucsonan! Same here. Cactus are okay, but the mesquite and palo verdes really plague me. There's gotta be a way to do it without fiddling too much.

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

That's so interesting and something I hadn't considered before - hard edged foliage. I am going to think about this some more. I would love to see that photo of your backyard...want to email it to me? Maybe I can figure out a demo around it? [e-mail] :)

[@S.D.S08]

@Taria's Sketchy Adventures On its way! 👍🏻

[@patytrico]

Love it! Thannk you :)

[@christinegentes9096]

This was so much fun

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Glad you enjoyed it Christine!!

[@gothicwriter9897]

Excellent. You make it look relatively straight forward. I look forward to seeing more of these.

[@englishfive6985]

Hello Taria🌺🌺🌺. So happy to see a new video from you

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Thank you! I knows its been a while! I shall try and be a bit more regular now....well except for April as I shall be away all month! Eek.

[@noxtwilight_]

Just discovered this technique and YOU! Excellent video. Think some binge watching is my morning 😁

[@bubbletip9836]

I love this video it was not over thought simple and elegant. Perfect.❤❤❤

[@sherrilltaylor1801]

I simply love this piece of work of a door. Thank you ❤️

[@KittehNow]

Beautiful... love this. I love old doors!

[@ramonawickstrom8562]

How fun! The sketchers symposium would be so much fun to attend! I will be with you as you go! I follow Alvin Mark and he is getting pumped about it, too! Congratulations on the book completion as your big part comes to a close! 🎉👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎉

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Thanks so much Ramona! It will be my first symposium too so super excited :)

[@brandielarrabee8352]

Looking forward to seeing more paint first and then ink. I love how it loosens me up. I'm getting more comfortable with watercolors

[@karehhartig7287]

I absolutely adore your color palette 🎨 Great work 🤙😙🌿

[@barblallier9413]

I love listening to you, your voice is calming and I like this process for loosening up! I have the P Rubing book, so no excuse to not try this today! !

[@catherinesloan4955]

l Loved this exercise. Thank you. Wonderful that you are coming to NZ, you will find all sorts of interesting things to sketch, as you would anywhere.

[@liquidhues]

Yay! You've been one of my inspirations since I started my journey in urban sketching. I think I've binged all your videos! Can't wait for the book!

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

That is awesome! Thank you so very much for your support!!

[@irene1234]

Love this. Thanks!

[@guyhiebert]

Thank you for sharing and I hope your book does well

[@joycesnodgrass7068]

I'm eager to try this paint first approach!

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Awesome Joyce! Enjoy!

[@leonidasspanos20]

Beautiful work!! I'm very much inspired and can't wait to start my own art work with water coloring first and ink later! Thanks for sharing!

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

So great to hear that!

[@leanngoodall7602]

Fabulous!

[@kv1154]

Love this technique! I’ve been stuck getting started, so this was a perfect video to light my painting fire!🔥

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

So glad to hear that!

[@jordanleighwheatley]

I really want to try this. I feel like this will help me loosen up

[@jillweisensee8524]

So exciting about your book, Taria! Congratulations!

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Thank you so much Jill!!

[@tommylee6741]

love it!!!

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Thanks Tommy!

[@usgribbles]

Absolutely loved this video, technique, and outcome.

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

So glad to hear that, happy it was useful!

[@susancook1617]

A lovely painting and a great technique. It certainly takes the trauma out of having to draw it in the first place. I’ll give it a go. Thank you Taria.

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Glad it's useful Susan! Enjoy :)

[@daledanby6831]

Congrats girl!

[@axolotdraws9946]

The book was due on my birthday :0

[@monika.71]

I miss doing watercolour and this certainly has got me wanting to do it again! I can't wait for your book. Congrats on the publishing. Have an amazing time in NZ. We went there for our Honeymoon in 2000 and then back with our kids in 2014. Absolutely loooooove NZ. I would move there if I could (I am in Australia).

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

I think I am in massive danger of falling very in love with NZ :D

[@SueUTube]

I try to oil and acrylic my paintings. Applying the watercolor first seems a great way to stop me from lasering my work and focus on values. Thanks.

[@wendyeaster3540]

I love this! However, I work with F-C Albrecht Durer wc pencils so will have to find a way to lay down the initial colour; possibly scribbling on a scrap of paper first to use as a palette 🤔 Whatever, I’m going to try it. Thank you 😊

[@sadiaawanartist]

Nice tutorial ❤ I Like Watercolor so much

[@jenniferdoyleart]

I always love your videos ❤

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Thank you so much Jennifer, thats so kind of you !

[@bigblue6917]

I have just bought Mike Yoshiaki Daikubara's book so I am looking forward to reading it.

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Awesome, I'd love to hear what you think of it! Maybe I can grab a copy when I am in Europe in September :)

[@KeesungSSong]

ye~ I can meet you in symposium~ I'll get your book on there!!

[@AndreeaEremiaArt]

Beautiful art video as always dear friend 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@3974royal]

This is just lovely. I would like to support you on Patreon. I have never subscribed to anything on Patreon before and I would like to know if videos there can be downloaded to view offline. I have a 3 week trip coming up and would love to watch the videos on the plane. If not possible, then I would rather join when I get back.

[@timbo1992]

This is soo great love your channel & this is getting me out of comfort zone with trying watercolor. Only thing is I’m getting frustrated to try & just stick with completing etc it looks good but then I start over & over…any suggestions

[@user-vz2bk8jx6u]

멋져용

[@ramko9136]

Hi! Very lovely done! Love it! Where can we find the picture? Thx

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Sorry Ram, here we go: www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/239464905178579870/ - I'll pop it in the description too

[@Art-What..]

TSA..is your patreon an ongoing teaching format or is it just a limited video list? Love your cartoonist style very cool😎

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

It's ongoing weekly demonstrations with a back catalogue of over 1 year of material to delve through too. You've already signed up now, so I guess you know that already! Sorry for my late reply. Super happy to see you on Patreon though and I hope you are enjoying it :)

[@dustinryan1336]

Is that a 1/2 inch flat brush?

[@OkieSketcher1949]

I will try to follow the symposium via another artist I follow, namely Alvin Mark. I also follow Teoh Yi Chie, another urban sketcher who hails from Singapore, but I am not sure if he will be attending. In any case of the three of you I ought to be able to see parts of what happens in New Zealand. Have fun, stay healthy and safe. -OkieSketcher1949

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Alvin Mark and Teoh are both wonderful and I am big fans of theirs too :)

[@laurainehoughton8968]

I wow. I follow you and am in NZ. And I didn’t know that there are sketching groups. I am so useless at it but I do try. I wonder if the event would Be too advanced for me to attend yet. Will You be presenting

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Hi Lauraine, no not presenting, just going as a sketcher :) you can come and sketch and not do the workshops, the ticket is cheaper too. Which part of NZ are you in? I am travelling all over for a few weeks before, would be great to say hi! Drop me an email :) ([e-mail])
